Bill introduced to rename VA Medical Center

O’Brien was a U.S. Marine Corps officer who received the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in the country, for his actions in the Korean War.

“For 60 years, veterans have been coming to Big Spring VA for their health care needs. Today (Thursday), I introduced legislation to honor another veteran who many of them knew personally, and someone who all of them respected: George H. O’Brien, the only Medal of Honor recipient from Big Spring," Cornyn said.
